Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Chris Brookes, what's especially annoying is that whilst waiting for my friends to get their act in order my flight have gone up in price !

I mean I had a great deal for them, double room south facing with ensuite bathroom on Half board for about £60 pp per night all in including flights, ski passes, ski hire etc it came to just under £2,500 for two people for 14 nights

He he, just to upset everyone I've just booked my flights and accomodation from 9th till 16th of Jan (I've never been in Wengen for the races) and from 30th Jan till the 27th of Feb, all I'm doing now is trying to decide weather to go out on the 19th or the 23rd of December until the 2nd of Jan, total cost arround £2,500 including flights and ski pass Cool Just leaving me with the slight problem of finding the cash to pay for it all Shocked

I decided in the end to go for the extra days at Christmas Little Angel it's only money after all wink

erica2004 If you live in Tavistock you should consider the Easyjet Bristol-Geneva flight. The Alpenrose is a very nice Hotel with very good food, the only problem i found when i stayed there was that all the guests were in bed by 10 pm and the hill up to the village was not a good start to the day although if you ask they will provide some transport.

riverman, 10pm ! Never when I'm there, at least not during winter, although it's rare for the bar staff to have to work after 11.30 I have seen it happen.

Yes the walk up the hill can be a pain and I almost never do it in ski boots but the transport is provided for free so it's not a problem, the bright side is that it is possible to ski back to the hotel

Morning guys !

I would agree about numbers 1 & 5 and disagree with number 2 . My 6 + reasons why i feel Murren is at a higher level than Wengen.. Laughing

1.) Murren village itself is more snow sure due to its higher altitude (can always ski back to the village,even more so now they have installed snow cannons)
2.) Easier access to the slopes (no sitting on a train or q'ing at the Mannlichen cablecar)
3.) 2 Nursey slopes,1 with recently installed poma lift in the middle of village (staying at the Jungfrau Hotel its right outside)
4.) Car free Still
5.) Excellent views of the Eiger Monch Jungfrau Mountains and the surrounding peaks
6.) Higher lifts to ski down from (upto 3000m)
7.) Murren has retained its small Swiss village charm and hasn't gone down the commercialised road
7.) Snow permitting can ski back down to Lauterbunnen (on a pisted run)
8.) Very friendly people
9.) On the bad weather days a superb Sports centre to keep the kids amuzed
10.) Has some excellent hotel restaurants and a wide choice of accomodation to suite most budgets
11.) no lift q's


I could go on but i would be late for work snowHead snowHead

Maybe one day i will convert you guys .....but i very much doubt it snowHead

Chris Brookes, I'll agree with most of those but not 2 I think Wengen beets it there but not by much, however Murren may just win at particularly busy times.

Wengen may have a few vehicles but it's not many and it is much bigger than Murren, they both have excellent views but I prefer the Wengen view of the Jungfrau to Murrens as at Murren you look more to the side of the mountain.

Both have very friendly people

10 applies to both

But why do you have two 7's ? Shocked Did you think you needed some extra luck Laughing

If I wanted to ski Wengen again

Is once enough then? Am I right to leave it until I have had both my hips replaced for a gentle potter around the mountains and can sit in a mountain restaurant taking in the views without feeling the need to squeeze in another black before lunch?

Martin Nicholas, it depends on what you are looking for, it's a good intermediate and beginner resort with about 60% of the area being red runs, if conditions allow however there are some excellent off piste runs and the scenery is spectacular.

There are two types of people who ski in Wengen, those who ski the area once or twice and move on and those that keep returning year on year because they like the area

D G Orf, entering number 7 twice was down to me getting excited about the next ski season plus i was in a rush for work.. snowHead

David, You can't tell me you like jumping on the train from Wengen to go Skiing ? and the Q to Mannlichen is so fustrating when you just want to ski..everytime,ive been to Wengen (6 times now) i've been in that Q everytime(maybe its just my luck Confused )

At least when you look at the mountains from Murren you don't get a bad neck compared to looking up at them from Wengen snowHead

Martin Nicholas, agree with David.Its the same with Murren,limited skiing but everyhing else makes up for it.So many people return to Murren year after year,its a special place !!
